Lunch hour. After bedtime. Morning. You are responsible for making yourself better. Do it.

Nah, I've done everything right for years. No point in wasting my time if there's no reward.
Okay, I read your post as you were stuck in a dead end job with no alternatives.

If you are fine to stay in that exact role till you die, then of course there is no reason to do anything else. It does get harder and harder to find time to learn as you age though, saw this first hand with 60 year old cobol programmers 20 years out of date trying to learn Java...

The reword is literally having a better job that allows you to work remotely, so you can feel better about your work without thinking about moving constraints of your household.
